Rob Howley founded English Language Training in 1987. It became both a successful British Council accredited language school – providing courses for students from all over the world – and a provider of executive language training to a vast range of international businesses and organisations.

The school closed in 2016, but Rob continued – introducing a new format in the shape of the highly-successful ‘Quartet’ courses. At the same time he carried on his work as a trainer and language consultant for companies in London and organisations such as the United Nations.

I studied at English Language Training from January to May 2016. I liked the school, the teachers and the way in which they taught. When the school closed I decided to attend Quartet classes with Rob. That was even better as I got more attention and I could focus on those areas which I really needed. Rob’s methodology is very dynamic and focuses on the why, how and when rather than a mechanical and grammatical one. Moreover, we worked very hard on my CV presentation and cover letter, which helped me to find a new job in a good school.

I’m really satisfied with the course – my English has improved a lot, and also I passed the Cambridge exam which was my goal from the beginning. The groups are just 4 people so you are always involved, the teacher adapts to what you need/want to learn and focuses on your weaknesses. Mine, like every Spanish student, was pronunciation and thanks to many exercises, Rob managed to help me a lot. I’m really grateful and am going do another Quartet course at English Language Training next term!
